Convergent continental margin volcanic source for ash beds at the Permian-Triassic boundary, South China: Constraints from trace elements and Hf-isotopesVolcanic activity around the time of the Permian-Triassic
Further, the region of Andaman–Nicobar islands is located along an active plate boundary where the Indian plate is subducting below the southeast Asian plate. It is the only example of Pacific type of continental margin in India, and is another promising sedimentary basin for hydrocarbon ...
What are the 4 types of plate tectonics? There are four types of boundaries between tectonic plates that are defined by the movement of the plates:divergent and convergent boundaries, transform fault boundaries, and plate boundary zones. What happens when two plates carrying continental crust collide?
For a range of physical parameters the thickened boundary layer that forms the transition from the strong lithosphere to the convecting asthenosphere may become unstable, detach, and sink into the asthenosphere, to be replaced by hotter asthenospheric material. We have studied the instability of a...
a fixed boundary between drainage basins. For example, in response to tectonic uplift, the westward-draining Karoo River of South Africa (proto-Orange River; Extended Data Fig.4a) incised a deep channel through the Great Escarpment43at 120–110 Ma (refs. 29,43), paving the way for flu...
We test the role of the advance rate (indentation rate) of the India–Eurasia convergent boundary, i.e. the Indian continental subduction zone hinge and slab (vI), relative to the rollback rate of the Western Pacific (vWP) and Sunda (vSu) subduction zones on the style and extent of cont...

What is non-convergent evolution? What is the global boundary stratotype? What is delta in geochemistry? What is the Guiana Shield? What is an ecological equilibrium? What is parsimony in cladistics? What is thermohaline circulation? What is protease? What is Denisova hominin? What is an inert...
8A) from the Long Valley Caldera (LVC) located at the boundary between the Sierra Nevada and the Basin and Range Province (Fig. 8B). Although this is not associated with an active subduction zone, the LVC is a useful example of giant rhyolite arc eruptions. About 760,000 years ago the ...
